Chocolate Syrup Brownies

Chocolate Syrup Brownies

Chocolate Syrup Brownies- For the chocolate lover! Fudgy brownies that are made easily with chocolate syrup and topped with a thick layer of dreamy chocolate frosting.  

Where do you stand on frosting on brownies?  My entire childhood my Mom frosted our brownies or dusted them with powdered sugar.  When I met my husband, he ate his brownies plain. Yeah, no frosting. 🤷 I was totally confused. 

Of course, they're brownies, I still eat them,  plain or frosted.  But, I do prefer them with frosting. My kids are split.  Some like them plain, some like them with frosting. 

What do you think?

These brownies are made with chocolate syrup and honestly, you could eat them with the frosting or plain. Either way, they are dee-licous. 

Ingredients Needed

Recipe Notes

Butter

Make sure your butter is softened for both the brownies and frosting. This will make beating it all much easier and give your items a better consistency. 

Chocolate Syrup

Want to make it homemade?  It's easy. Find out how here. 

Storage

Keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within a week.

Recipe Notes

Can I Use Any Flavor Cake Mix? 

Yes!  I usually opt for a white/vanilla or yellow cake mix.  However, if you stick with a standard size box ( 15-18 oz), you can use any flavor or brand.   Also, you will only be using the dry mix, not making the cake. 

What About Fruit?

Again, yes, use your favorite frozen fruit. Keep it frozen and make sure your fruit will lay in a single layer on the bottom of your baking dish.  Other than that, it's up to you!

Lemon Lime Soda

I have used Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist and generic lemon lime soda for this cobbler. They all work great.

Dry Spots

If your cobbler has a few dry spots after baking, that's OK.   Feel free to use a bit more soda to cover the entire top of the dry cake mix before baking or lightly tip the pan back and forth, so, the soda will spread more evenly.

Important!

After layering your ingredients in the pan,  DO NOT MIX!  I learned this the hard way the very first time I made it.  It will take forever to bake and won't turn out properly.

Recipe Notes

Bananas

You will need a cup of mashed bananas.  This should be about 2-3 medium size bananas. Go with ripe bananas for your cake.  They are easier to mash, a little sweeter and will blend better.

Buttermilk

None on hand?  Simply whisk together 1/2 cup milk with a teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then, proceed with the recipe.

Frosting

I frosted ours with peanut butter frosting.  However, this cake will go great with a chocolate frosting, cream cheese or vanilla.  It's even delicious without any frosting at all!  Explore some ideas right here.

Storage

Keep any leftovers in a covered container. No need to refrigerate, unless the weather is really hot/humid in your area. The cake is best eaten within a week.
